Tigers - Killing Spree

You know that the Tigers all over the world are less than 1400 in number now. Such a pathetic news that anyone could ever hear of. With the way the poachers are killing these animals illegally for their skins, we are going to be left with none in the near future. This generation is selfish enough to destroy god's creations and are going to leave nothing for the future generations.

For your kid and my kid we will only show video documentaries and snippets from animal planet, Nat Geo, Discovery or photos of tigers, leopards and other big cats. Why are these happening inspite of so many animal activists and other non-profit organizations that support and prevent cruelty to animals. Its highly annoying to see these morons' killing spree and the sad part is that they have not realized what they have been to doing to mankind and nature by doing this atrocity.

And the worst part is the skins of these big cats are exported to Tibet where the tibetians using these skins to prepare an exotic costume for them. How can they be so cruel in using the tigers' skin as part of their dress? Will they do this using their own skin by killing their kith and kin? What is the tibet government doing to prevent this outrageous costumes? I saw in discovery channel where they showed a godown full of tiger and leopard skins at least a 1000 of them. Each tiger or leopard skin is being sold for $15,000 USD. My heart aches seeing and hearing all these. All these are happening because of people's greed and need for too much money. We have other avenues to earn money. We have no rights to kill any animal and get money at their cost.

One thing is dead sure. If this killing spree does not stop now we are going to lose the rest of the few tigers left. Lets stop pretending on this issue and come forward to stop it.

Please spread the awareness among your near and dear ones. Let us try our best to stop this killing spree by spreading this news to all around us! The next to-be extinct animal in queue is 'The Elephant'. These are being killed for their tusks and are being exported to the US. So far 50,000 tusks have been recovered and you know how many elephants comprise in them. Gosh.......... I dont know what more to say but get dumb struck and annoyed.
